Green Building Targets

8.10 As of April 1, 2012, each department will establish at least 3 SMART green procurement targets to reduce environmental impacts.


Portable Personal Computers (tablet and/or laptop)
Performance Measure RPP DPR
Target Status On Track
Portable Personal Computers 75%
Progress against measure in the given fiscal year 2011–2012. 50% 70%

Strategies / Comments

  1. In order to become less dependent on paper, employees will be provided with portable personal computers as their main workstations.
  2. Library and Archives Canada employees, where feasible, will be equipped with Portable Personal Computers by March 31, 2015, thus reducing the number of computers purchased.
  3. Measurable: Information available from the LAC financial system.
  4. Achievable: Departmental policy mandating use of PWGSC standing offers.
  5. Relevant: High volume / expenditure of IT hardware purchases.
  6. Time-bound: Date established for target implementation and completion.

Other Reporting Considerations:

  1. Scope: All IT computers purchases
  2. Processes / reporting requirement: Financial database.
  3. Roles and responsibilities: Director of IT is target lead.
  4. Estimated environmental benefits: Reduced energy use / hazardous material/reduced number of workstations.


Reduction of number of printers at LAC
Performance Measure RPP DPR
Target Status Opportunity for Improvement
Reduction of number of printers 30%
Progress against measure in the given fiscal year 2011–2012. N/A N/A

Strategies / Comments

  1. Specific: As part of its Modernization activities, LAC is moving toward a fully digital mobile office environment.
  2. Measurable: The goal is to reduce the number of printers at LAC by 75%.
  3. Methodology: To achieve this reduction target, the ratio of printers per employee should be 1:15. As LAC employees are issued portable personal computers, printers will become less necessary. Employees will no longer need to print materials required for meetings. They will participate and collaborate using their portable personal computers. This will not only benefit the environment, it will also reduce material, maintenance and supports costs.
  4. Roles and responsibilities: Director of IT is target lead.
  5. Time-bound: Achieve targets by April 2014.


Secure Waste Paper destruction by shredding, pulping or disintegrating of surplus government paper and/or plastic

  5. Less damage to forests.
